Please check the ‘Football_Manager_2009_InstallLog.log’ located in ‘C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009’ and report any errors. If you do have errors can you please also report where you purchased the game from.

I have that problem, the file isnt there. But i need a solution. Reporting it doesnt make it work does it. Any feedback would be good. I know you all understand how frustrating this is.

Thanks

Newer?

Nowhere?

If you are using vista then I have a feeling that the locations might be different.

I know it takes a while but it is probably worth search and re-reading a lot of the technical stuff that has gone before as it is VERY likely that someone has already encountered this problem and the instructions on how to fix are already there.

I know it's frustrating but SI probably just don't have the resources to post a response to every single thread.

Here are some links that might help you out.

The very first one, (which is a linked at the top of this page), tells you where to post, but specifically tells you "please do not post on the GQ forum". That's probably another reason why you haven't received an official response.
